Notice, symbol, or label Meaning

IMPORTANT Highlights information necessary to prevent damage to

software, loss of data, or invalid test results; or might contain

information that is critical for optimal performance of the

product.

Note Highlights information of general interest.

Tip Highlights helpful information that can make a task easier.

Caution: Read the cautionary information associated with this

task.

Chemical hazard: Observe safe laboratory practices and

procedures when handling chemicals. Only work with volatile

chemicals under a fume or exhaust hood. Wear gloves and other

protective equipment, as appropriate, when handling toxic,

carcinogenic, mutagenic, corrosive, or irritant chemicals. Use

approved containers and proper procedures to dispose of waste

oil and when handling wetted parts of the instrument.

Preface

xvi Orbitrap Tribrid Series Hardware Manual Thermo Scientific

Read and understand the following cautions that are specific to the shutdown of the mass

spectrometry system or to the removal of parts for cleaning.

Heavy object: The Orbitrap Tribrid Series MS, excluding its

workbench, weighs over 227 kg (500 lb). Never try to detach

and move the instrument from its workbench; you can suffer

personal injury or damage the instrument.

Hot surface: Before touching the API source assembly, allow

heated components to cool.

Pinch point: Keep hands away from the specified areas.

Risk of electric shock: This instrument uses voltages that can

cause electric shock and personal injury. Before servicing the

instrument, shut it down and disconnect it from line power.

While operating the instrument, keep covers on.

Risk of eye injury: Eye injury can occur from splattered

chemicals, airborne particles, or sharp objects. Wear safety

glasses when handling chemicals or servicing the instrument.

Risk of laser radiation—Orbitrap Fusion Lumos MS with the

optional ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) module only:

Failure to understand and comply with laser cautions and

operating instructions in the UVPD Module User Guide can

result in property damage or serious injuries to the user.

Sharp object: Avoid handling the tip of the syringe needle.

Trip obstacle: Be aware of cords, hoses, or other objects located

on the floor.

Table 1. Notices, symbols, labels, and their meanings (Sheet 2 of 2)

Notice, symbol, or label Meaning

CAUTION If you must turn off the MS in an emergency, turn off the main power switch

located on the right-side power panel. This switch turns off all power to the MS,

including the forepump, without harming components within the system. However, do

not use this method as part of the standard shutdown procedure. Instead, see Shutting

Down the Mass Spectrometer System Completely. To turn off the LC, autosampler, and

data system computer in an emergency, use their respective on/off switch or button.

Model Differences

This table lists the required number of forepumps and the available options for the

Orbitrap Tribrid Series MSs.

CAUTION To avoid an electrical shock, be sure to follow the instructions in Shutting

Down the Mass Spectrometer System Completely.

CAUTION Do not turn the instrument on if you suspect that it has incurred any kind of

electrical damage. Instead, disconnect the power cord and contact Thermo Fisher

Scientific technical support for a product evaluation. Do not attempt to use the

instrument until it has been evaluated. (Electrical damage might have occurred if the

system shows visible signs of damage, or has been transported under severe stress.)

CAUTION Do not disconnect the power cord at the MS while the other end is still

plugged into the electrical outlet.

CAUTION Do not place any objects (for example, the syringe pump or other containers

with liquids) on top of the instrument, unless instructed to in the documentation.

Leaking liquids might contact the electronic components and cause an electrical short

circuit.

CAUTION Hot surface. Allow heated components to cool to room temperature

(approximately 20 minutes) before servicing them.
